2530 days ago 2 categories Test of Light wind gear in 8 to 13 kts (measured), Carbon Art Custom 74/121 Mauisails TR7 8.4m USA Custom 40/42. Planed 90% of tme, sail didn't feel heavy as the other day (when used constant curve soft mast,) so this is what I'll take with me on my winter trip. Wind picked up a little bit maybe got to 10 to 16 kts, (not measured) so I decided to stop, just don't like sailing with big gear. I can see Foiling having appeal, being able to sail with a smallish sail in light winds, Hmm will I do it? Stropo and Boz got going and started having fun on smaller gear than me.

2530 days ago Glory Holes, Australind, WA, AU. the desperation of a windsurfer is a pitiful thing. It really does show the extent of our addiction. It was actually a very forgetable sail in a crappy SEly, but after the disappointment of the last month it felt so soooo good to get just a few half decent runs . First sail with my Tribal WS 33, felt pretty good with the Falcon 113 and Firewing 7.0 across the chop. Im with you Hardie, i just dont like big gear. Should get myself a 7.5 though. THinking about a HSM Speedfreak as a "pumpable" light wind sail?
